Momentum Turn Watch
Bollinger Squeeze Bollinger band width (9.7%) is in the bottom quartile of its last 120 sessions — Legend's width-percentile squeeze (not a TTM/Keltner squeeze), so volatility is compressed and a sharper move often follows.
Early technical context only. Wait for price, volume, and the canonical setup trigger to confirm; this signal does not change readiness or the setup score.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish near confirmation
90% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~41.13 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~30.27. A push back above 50.52 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 51.99 invalidates it.

Invalidates at 51.99
Left Shoulder 47.86
Head 51.99
Right Shoulder 50.52
Neckline 41.13
Target 30.27

LS 47.86 / head 51.99 / RS 50.52, neckline ~41.13, vol_fading=yes

Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
